    Couldn't care less. If I could choose (and I can't really) I'd be burned in a field.

    That could be arranged, Wicker Man season is coming up.

    I would. Plenty of food and drink and chatting. No bolloxing with tears or anything.

    I want to be laid out on a mountainside and left to be eaten by the birds.

    I'm going to science.

    I thought my grandad's wake was great fun, he would have loved it.

    I will be dead, but I would recommend they have a party if my wife/ child want it. Funerals are for the living, not the dead. My dead body need not be present for the party....

    Nothing like a good wake to catch up with people you haven't seen in ages.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,432 ✭✭✭willmunny1990


    I wouldn't want an open coffin anyway, a lot of people that go to wakes/funeral homes to pay respects don't even no the person who's dead, they just go in for a nose around.

    If i had my way i'd be dumped into the sea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,735 ✭✭✭jam_mac_jam


    No, I think its very creepy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,899 ✭✭✭✭BBDBB


    Viking burial please

    You won't be doing too much catching up if it's your own

    Depends on whether I died peacefully in my sleep or was decapitated for being atheist.

    This. I don't want to burden my family with like a €5,000 funeral bill.

    I'm dead, I don't care what happens with my body.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,250 ✭✭✭✭mfceiling


    Laid out for all to see.

    Oul lads coming to the house who never knew me, and are there for a free sandwich and a drink.

    People looking at me and saying "doesn't he look like himself"

    Others saying "ah, sure you wouldn't know it was him"

    Some random lad saying "he's like the father"

    Gamey oul fellow eyeing up my wife.

    People outside the house saying "i won't go in, give my regards to the family"

    Suppressed laughter coming from the kitchen when someone who knew me well, tells a dirty joke or a story about badness i once got up to.


    Alternatively just fcuk me over a hedge up a back road...

    Burned on a funeral pyre on one of the moons of Endor; thats if my son doesn't kill me first


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 942 ✭✭✭Real Life


    I dont really mind what happens, although the thoughts of a religious ceremony annoy me. i hope that doesnt happen, i dont want any priests involved in any way.
    As for my body id like to think it went on to help something, whether it be another human or a plant. so if it cant be donated then maybe buried under a tree so it can feed off me.

    I will burn, like the heathen kings of old!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,116 ✭✭✭starviewadams


    I'd like my carcass to either be thrown off the Golden Gate Bridge or skewered on top of the spire.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,346 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    I'd like to be propped up in a corner, all pasty skinned with a vacant look on my face and a drink in my hand. It'll be like every other family gathering I go to.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,329 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


    Stick me in the brown bin with the other organic waste for all I care.
    If my kidneys are still working, stick them in the green bin for recycling.

    No. You won't :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,499 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    I don't really want to be brought back to my house in a box, I'd prefer to be kept at a funeral home or wherever until burial. A wake could still of course happen without the body, I'd like people to sample my Scotch collection and have a good time.:pac:

    I keep telling the Missus she should cremate me in the fireplace, but she won't hear of it.

    Apparently I'm being donated to science in return for a pair of Jimmy Shoes...or sumthing
